Authority
legitimated by the acceptance of historical institutional
arrangements, the belief in the sanctity of tradition, patterns of social relations, and
the fact they exist now, that they "are," i.e., existing institutions gain
legitimacy because they have come through time to exist in their present states as well as
legitimacy gained because institutions always exist prior to any specific individual so it
appears that "that is the way things are." Examples of traditional authority
would be chiefs, warlords, and kings.
